A free download from multi-instrumentalist Georgy Kotunov, aka Long Arm, who is originally from the provincial and medieval city of Orel, itself two hundred miles south of Moscow. Immediately described by one Soundcloud listener as "the dopest Harry Potter beat I ever heard," "Play the Game" continues Long Arm's avoidance of overt generic tagging.

"I have a really private relationship with these sounds. My music is basically cerebral in nature. Everything constitutes a creative act involving both myself and my surrounding environment. Stylistically speaking, you could conceivably say this is downtempo material, maybe 'ethnic,' even. After all, downtempo is where my career began and I'd always like some element of that to be in my music..."

It's also a reaction to the type of civic, if not bestial violence discussed in the new documentary short "Play Fight," for which Kotunov's music was used. An accelerated, frequently aggravated world begs an audible response.
